I did read six pages
this morning
to make me revolve
once more
in the right direction
it has been
long since I could
poetry came
to give me a hand
to see who
am I once more

Making Room
*
left with questions
raising as people complain
not understanding
hiking the silent way alone
making answers room
.
.
.
Yesterday it was my birthday, I choose this poetic meditation for today because growing is a beautiful, truly beautiful, journey – even when we don’t understand life.

Ogni festa comandata
Sunday Posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry (video and audio version too)
Poesia in quattro stanze
I
ogni festa comandata è vendemmia
le persone stanno come grappoli
unite serrate vicine aggrappate
a volte tra loro solo ragnatele
pressate nessuno spazio
per muoversi
distinguersi
e si amano così
dicono
senza prospettiva
non conoscono distanza
vuoti
II
mi preferisco acino
solitario staccato rotolato via
pesante di dolcezza
piccolo il rostro
III
il primo era decisamente da grappolo
vive di social network frenetica
cicala gli arriva poca luce
resta acido
costruisce castelli
imperi di sabbia e parole
IV
il secondo si è strappato a forza
dal grappolo esule sulla motocicletta
si sa che in moto sta comodo
solo il guidatore
per assicurarsi la sua
indipendenza rompe
tutte le regole
tutte
non teme il futuro non
teme nulla e nessuno
ma l’amore

The Stroll
*
hearing steps
of life carried out
gasping one day
they will be no more
times rolls away
my finger fail to
halt it to stillness
.
.
..
Happy New Year! Happy we are still able to count them.

Sento
Sunday’s Poems are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
quando scrivo sono
guardo mi svuoto
sempre più ricca
guardo l’albero
nella nebbia e sono
l’albero e la nebbia
non avverto confini
non penso sento
la poesia è essenza
d’essere vita
.
.

Tuesday Poems will be in English as usual.
Sì, la domenica le poesie saranno in italiano!

The Forever Moment

mind doesn’t follow me
on grasping being
everything
kicks and jibs while
I feel and know

This Whisper
*
I write hesitantly
as if scared to feel
too much as if afraid
to make noise
.
to intimidate
the graciousness
of this whisper past
my ears past my mind
.
I got there somehow
once more afraid
to be cast away
when I was it
.
.

Poetry Waits
*
it’s there you know
poetry waits patiently
for me to return to
our holy silence
to our time alone to
that embrace if I could
never let go always
be poetry myself
.

Face To Face
*
it comes up
as water gushing
out of a broken pipe
the flood of tears
when I sit face
to face poetry
meeting me
.

Immagina
*
i morti di quei campi
i morti della guerra
i morti delle stragi politiche
i morti del mediterraneo
i morti che
non appartenevano
alla parte giusta
alla razza giusta
al paese giusto
tornano tutti
in vita un giorno
come in un sogno
per svegliarci tutti
immagina
.

The Other People
*
it has been weeks
since we had a good
time and talked one
to another poetry
and I weeks of dry
isolation weeks
of mundane problems
sinking down with
all the other people

Dusty
*
I leave the dust
to rest on my books
I remove the dust
from my shoes have
you wondered
.
transforming desert
the vast space
filled with the wind
voice to instruct
my questioning soul
.

Language
*
things cluttered
I move them around
just a bit as to call them
to make a list of prisoners
.
to make them feel less
lonely as my mind
speaks to them
their language
.

Anime
Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian poetry.
*
siamo anime in otri di pelle
anime che sono fiumi
tumultuose
sospese in un oceano
sospinte da fuori e da dentro

The Forgotten Taste
*
the forgotten taste
of bitterness hitting
my tongue again
something
I wasn’t eager
to experience once
again you lash out
anger empowering
you robbing us
of our beauty
.
